The Gloucester City Business Association held its annual fishing trip on the Duke O\’ Fluke June 27, and a good time was had by all.
Those participating included Andrew-Kyle and James Burkhardt, Chad Burke, Zack Cooper, Bob Cordero, James Dillon, Chelsea Gunning, Joe Hamaker, Dave Knowles, Eric, Laino, Sidney Lownes, Mike Means, Demitrius Mejias, Andrew Morgan, Fred Mullen, Trey Murphy, Justin Oehlert, Tom Quinn, Jason-John-Ryan and Samantha Schultz, Sean Ward, Josh Underwood and chaperones George Berglund, Steve Burkhardt, Bill James, Bobby Lee, Ken MacAdams, Dan McGlinsey, Pete Prelas, Mike Sweeny and Lou Underwood, who also provided the transportation.
Bob Bevan could not attend, but he was definitely there in spirit as the 50-passenger vessel got stuck on a sandbar.
A few police officers, a fireman and Big Charles Stackhouse helped save the day by jumping in the cold water pushing the boat into deeper water. The whole time Mayor James was cheering them on, even though he was dry.
As always thanks to all the members of the Gloucester City Business Association who make this event happen.
Winning the grand prize was Chelsea Gunning for the largest fluke. She, along with three guests, won a four hour charter on a 26 foot Donzie, owned and donated by Rick Sterling of Mount Ephraim Dodge.
Congrats to Chelsea and a big thanks to Rick for his donation, GCBA officials said.
